Ask about the role

Ask what a coach would: “What if I play her colder?” The answer comes from your sides, with one thing to try.

What if I play the raven speech colder?

Cold makes her already decided: there's nothing left to win. Try her frightened by what she's asking for, getting colder line by line.

→ Start warm and private; let each “Come” be a step further from yourself.

Questions

What actors ask.

What is Audishly?

An iPhone and iPad app for actors. Add a casting email or your sides and it writes a prep brief: who you're playing, the choices the scene turns on, a song or speech from your own rep book, what to wear, and a plan to the deadline. It remembers every audition, so it can tell you who's seen you before and what you showed them.

Who is it for?

Actors aged 18 and over in the UK and US, from working professionals to drama students and recent graduates, with or without an agent.

Does it work in the UK and the US?

Yes. It knows both industries, recalls and callbacks, Spotlight and Actors Access, and writes in British or American English to match your phone. Dates, times and prices follow your phone's settings.

Does it work for self-tapes, callbacks and auditions in the room?

Yes. Self-tapes, in-person auditions, recalls, callbacks and online calls, for screen, stage, musical theatre, voice and commercials.

Does Audishly find auditions for me?

No. It helps you prepare for and keep track of auditions you've already got. It doesn't replace Spotlight, Actors Access or Backstage.

Does it replace an acting coach?

No. It gives you preparation ideas, scene analysis and a plan; the choices are yours. Always check casting's instructions against the original email.

Are my sides and casting emails private?

Your originals are stored on your device. With your permission, their text is sent through our server to Anthropic’s Claude AI to prepare your brief. Our server does not store the original material.
